Welfare-led support and training from a Certified professional

I live with my dogs in a home, in a town — with cars, kids, and distractions all around us. My focus is on real-life skills, because those challenges can't be underestimated. As a certified behaviour practitioner, I bring the latest science and understanding to every interaction — but I also know what it's like to stand at the end of a lead wondering what just happened. Border Collies are my specialist subject, but I love working with all breeds and seeing them flourish.

Expert Coaching

I'm passionate about ensuring my clients succeed. That’s why I continue to invest in my own education, following the latest science, and understanding, so I can pass on that expertise and knowledge to you

Online Consultations

 Gain hands-on experience in a virtual way. Through the magic of technology, no matter where you're located, or what the weather is doing, we can still work together and gain the same level of success. 

Global Community

A built-in social network for connecting with fellow dog guardians. Connect as much, or as little, as you feel comfortable. Sometimes, just knowing you're not alone is such a good feeling. The power of community at your fingertips!

Real people, real progress 

Angie worked with all 3 of my dogs (Jack Russells) couldn't have asked for anyone better. Angie has such good knowledge and patience and through this gave me the confidence to deal with my dogs when they were reacting. Wouldn't go anywhere else if I required more help! Hands down the best around ❤️

Huge thanks to Angie for her patience, expertise, and invaluable advice when I first got my Border Collie puppy. She helped me stay calm during the bitey puppy stage, shared plenty of practical tips, and offered constant reassurance. Thanks to her guidance, I gained confidence, and now my dog is 1 years old and getting along wonderfully with my two cats too!

Angie is very knowledgeable about some of the specific behaviours collies have. She helped me see some of the subtle signs when things were getting too much for my dog and gave me games and tools to help him self regulate. She has also helped with some of my younger dog's struggles through adolescence and is always happy to celebrate successes and talk through problems.
